I can only imagine the broad spectrum of quality when comparing one home-schooled kid to another.

That comparison could also be made when between inner-city and suburban schools. Similarly, just because one went to college a while and received a teaching certificate doesn't qualify one to be a teacher.

Over the course of my formal book learnin', I think that I may have encountered a couple who were in it for the pension? Budget cuts might be a means of separating the wheat from the chaff?

Thank goodness, we no longer have any dogs in this hunt.

We have no involvement with local schools other than being forced to pay our school taxes every year. It may just be me, but I get the impression that the emphasis is on passing this TAKS Test, whatever that is, rather than on learning.

Here are the facts of the matter - everybody take a deep breath.

Just like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al, who were elected by the people, teachers are hired and tenured by school boards who are elected by the people. Clean out her school board and you'll flush her, and her ilk. out of the various shool systems.

Coming full circle now, this sort of {stuff} all begins and ends with the voting parents in the home. Now, y'all go and do the right thing.

With all due respect, that is the point. As children, we were expected to be quite, respect and not question our teachers. IOW, the kids "don't know no difference".
